If for whatever reason the flash process aborts, you probably end up with a 
broken firmware image in GSM modem (much the same like on flashing new bios 
on your PC). So it's very likely the bootloader located inside this firmware 
will fail and there's no use in trying to flash a new image by using the 
firmware-bootloader.

Please refer to the recommendation on 
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GSM/Flashing
regarding the bootloader used:
''(if this fails repeatedly, try -oo instead of -oO, to use the calypso ROM 
bootloader instead of the firmware bootloader)''

Please report whether this worked for you. Many thanks.

cheers
